The cottage is just inside the Dales National Park & only a short way from the Lake District, ideally located for visiting the many attractions in both National Parks.

Our next door neighbour local farmers, Steve, Barbara & Michael Dunning at Raisgill Hall Farm, just down the hill, offer stunning lamb & beef from their own herd & flock. Just knock on their door. In spring lambing time they are delighted to introduce visiting children to the new lambs & their mums!
